Technical Profile & Formulation Guide for NovaGlow Shift GYB
Multi-Directional Green–Blue to Yellow–Bronze Color Travel
NovaGlow Shift GYB delivers a dramatic, multi-angle color travel that moves from cool aqua-green and blue into vivid yellow-gold and finally a deep, warm bronze. Built on a hybrid platform of mica, synthetic fluorphlogopite, and silica, this pigment produces a smooth, high-impact metallic shift with bold opacity rather than a sheer interference veil.
The underlying powder appears as a complex, multi-tonal blend of dark olive greens and sparkling gold, which translates on skin into a refined, chromatic finish. This balance of travel and coverage allows formulators to create statement shades that read clearly on all skin tones, even in a single-swipe application.
Hybrid Substrate for Opaque, High-Chroma Effects
By combining natural mica, synthetic fluorphlogopite, and silica, NovaGlow Shift GYB leverages the clarity of synthetic substrates with the familiarity of classic pearlescents. Titanium dioxide, ferric ferrocyanide, and iron oxides are precisely layered to drive strong color contrast between the aqua-green/blue and yellow-gold/bronze angles, while maintaining a cohesive, elegant metallic sheen.
This architecture enables superior chroma and coverage compared to standard travel pearls. The result is a multichromatic effect that performs reliably in both thin and thick films—ideal for eyecolors, toppers, face accents, and nail finishes where impactful shift is required without sacrificing uniformity.
Particle Size & Sensory Performance
With a particle size range of 10–80 μm, NovaGlow Shift GYB sits in the sweet spot for visible sparkle with a refined laydown. Finer particles promote smooth application and blendability, while the upper end of the distribution enhances reflection and travel, particularly on curved surfaces like eyelids and nails.
In pressed and loose formats, the platelets align well to maximize color travel, while the silica component supports slip and a non-gritty feel. In nail and gel systems, the particle size provides standout shift effects that are still easy to suspend and disperse.
